As Steven Gerrard prepares for his final game as a Liverpool player away to Stoke City on Sunday, Reds' fans reflected on their memories of what has been a tremendous career for the Liverpool captain.

The ECHO asked fans to send their messages to Gerrard as he ends his Liverpool career this weekend after 17 years and we were quite simply inundated with thousands of responses from around the world.

Reds fans descended on Chavasse Park where a team of artists painted many of the messages on to the 8m by 4m wall which was set up in the Dome at Liverpool One – helping to create an image of the Reds’ captain – while others have been collated and will be sent to Gerrard in a book.

Those we interviewed found it hard to keep their emotions in check with some close to tears. One Liverpool fan said: “It just hits your heart that this guy, he has such a feeling for the club, the city, I feel heartbroken today."

A local youngster finishes the video off by saying: “It's a sad day really isn't it! He's a Liverpool legend”.

The wall is now in place at the ECHO offices on Old Hall Street so members of the public can pop in and see it while we look for a more permanent home so Gerrard fans can hopefully read the messages for years to come.
